State secures entrance to Big Island burial cave
The
Star-Bulletin
reports
that "The state Department of Land and Natural Resources announced yesterday
that it has secured access to Kanupa Cave, a sacred burial site that allegedly
was illegally opened on the Big Island. Department officials declined to
describe the security measures. For the last few weeks, agents with the U.S.
Department of the Interior have been investigating how artifacts that were
allegedly reburied in the cave last November were put up for sale."
The
Advertiser
also has a story
on the security guards posted at the cave.
